Master Cylinder Swap

Master Cylinder Swap
I have a z32 master cylinder that I am going to put on the 260z. I also have the z32 front calipers. I have the adapter and rotors to make this fit.
Who has done this? What am I going to run into as far as an installation issue. Will I have to adjust the rod in the booster as in installing a wildwood BMC?

Sorry I have never heard of this swap for an S30. Not saying it has not been done but I would like to know your source of reference for doing this swap.
Personally I have the Toyota 4 piston caliper with the z31 vented rotors up front & the Modern Motorsports 240SX rear disc conversion along with the 15/16 280ZX MC for my 240Z.

Any brake setup is possible... but not always a good idea. Without doing anything to the rear brakes, you will be nose heavy every time you step on the brakes.
Also, unless I'm missing something, you have 5 lug rotors going on a 4 lug hub. Are you going to re-drill them?

So i got this all installed. Put the Z32 master cylinder in, Front and rear Z32 calipers and rotors. I also got the e-brake cables to mate with the S30 chassis e-brake handle. I am have a brake bias adjuster that I have not installed. I am going to try this setup first, if it is an issue I will put the adj in.
I did switch to 5 lug as well. Going with some Z32 NA wheels\\

Rear wheels with calipers peeking out.
Here are the front with the old Sentra Spec-V wheels

Ok have a few weeks on the setup. The brakes are amazing. A little touchy. But stop the car amazingly and have not had any lock up issues.

For the rear I installed the TechnoToyTuning rear suspension using the Z32 rear axles, dif, and brakes. This en tales backing plate, mustache bar, dif mounts etc.
To get the wheels to fit I had to use a 1 1/4 inch spacer.
The front is still a 4 lug hub. I have a 4 lug to 5 lug spacer up front.
Want to get the Technotoytuning front 5 lug hub, but I am out of work right now and do not have the cash flow.
